The Center for Genomic Gastronomy (Cat, Zack & Emma), together with their collaborators Wendy and Nicky will spend a week in Melbu at Neptun Art/Science Lab, visiting sites, sharing ideas and generating new possibilities / ideas in the process of developing new artistic research on food, biology, taste & place.
Using the geography, ecology and culture of the location as a jumping off point, they will investigate history and imagined futures of eating, surviving and thriving in an extreme environment...
